Teenager Confesses to Radioman’s Murder

Details of the grisly murder of ABC radio newsman George Weber are emerging: The New York Post is reporting that a 16-year-old from Queens, John Katehis, has confessed to the murder of Weber, who was stabbed to death in his Brooklyn apartment on Friday night. According to the Post, Weber and Katehis arranged a sexual encounter online Friday night, and Katehis is alleging that Weber first pulled the knife on him before he took it and stabbed Weber. The self-defense explanation, however, smells fishy in light of this: “The knife sliced through Weber's neck, back and torso so many times that it was difficult to get an accurate count by the time the body was discovered two days ago.”
